LyraM45 0 #127 August 30, 2009 Quote Bumping this thread because the video was posted again and people are asking all the same "Why didn't anyone do anything?" questions that have already been asked and answered in this thread. Plus it's a really damned educational video/thread. Yea, since this has been bumped I reread through a lot of the posts and I'll echo what Chuck said on the first page. If possible, visit a chamber to simulate high altitude hypoxia. I did one as part of an aviation physiology class I took in my undergrad right in melbourne, FL, and it is VERY educational. I had no clue that even on that extra altitude sunset jump that how I was feeling was actually hypoxia in some instances! At least if you can get in the chamber you will know the symptoms from then on out, and if you feel anything like that come on during a high alti jump where you happen to be using a crappy O2 system, then you know to sit your ass right down on that bench and ride the plane down. It's a silent killer and it's REALLY not worth it!Apologies for the spelling (and grammar).... I got a B.S, not a B.A. :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kallend 2,106 #128 October 12, 2009 Effect of hypoxia: ETS = (90 - AOS)/2 Where: AOS = actual O2 saturation (%) ETS = equivalent tequila shots... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
